Correlation of Bending Strength and Errors of Helical Gear

871223

Correlation of bending strength and errors of helical gear has not been clarified sufficiently even now. As the investigation by using only experimental method is not sufficient and so the analytical method of obtaining gear bending strength has been developed by one of the authors. Hence, the correlation of bending strength and errors, especially in the aspect of the direction of pressure angle error and tooth trace error, is clarified by this analytical method which was verified by some experiments. And by further investigations, it is confirmed that the helical gear is tougher against the negative pressure angle error, and the fine module gear is sensitive against the errors.
